One man's extraordinary journey through the twentieth century and how he learned to read at age 98 "Things will be all right. People need to hear that. Life is good, just as it is. There isn't anything I would change about my life."--George DawsonIn this remarkable book, George Dawson, a slave's grandson who learned to read at age 98 and lived to the age of 103, reflects on his life and shares valuable lessons in living, as well as a fresh, firsthand view of America during the entire sweep of the twentieth century.

Trying to get what's in picture
Size: 9, Color: Natural Nbpu
Amazon said my size was a 10. So i ordered a 10. Waaaay too long, wide big in general, and I have a wide foot so I was pleasantly surprised. Company did not offer any color in size 9.5 but according to their size guide I "might" fit into a 9! Again, pleasantly surprised that i totally did and even when I put in my "Dr. Scholl's" inserts, i have slight wiggle room for when feet swell. Overall I am happy with the shoe fit, comfortability and height...not that I'd wear these for more than 8 hrs., but comfy enough for a wedding or to wear to work when I have a "mostly office day" instead of out in the yard. HOWEVER... i loved the color and suede-ey look/feel pattern of the size 10. It was exactly as picture/info described. But I'm not sure what happened to the size 9? wth? Although i ORDERED exact same shoe/color but in smaller size...what I got was a much lighter color, and NOT the suede fabric...more nubuck. Bu inside of shoe had same info/tag as the 10. Really hoping that it was a packing/labeling error. Will try one more time to order the 9, in the same 'name' fabric. Fingers crossed that I get what I ordered/want. Otherwise it'll be a return and less stars.

stiff like cardboard tops of shoes
Size: 5.5, Color: Natural Nbpu
These shoes are good enough quality and cute cute - even fit great, EXCEPT the faux leather top (part that encircles your leg) is so stiff, that when you walk, it cuts into your leg like hard cardboard making it difficult to walk comfortably. I do like them otherwise, but can't stand the hard, unbending top of these shoes.
